Katherine Harris booed at Bradenton town hall meeting

U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris, who gained the national spotlight as Florida secretary of state during the 2000 presidential recount, was booed several times at a town hall meeting about the Medicaid prescription drug plan being considered by Congress. Hundreds of people showed up with detailed questions for Harris at the Bradenton Kiwanis Hall Thursday night. The Sarasota Republican spoke for nearly half of the allotted hour, and then didn't answer the crowd's questions until all had been asked, the Bradenton Herald reported in Friday's edition. The lines at the microphones were long. The boos were loud.

Another sign that the tide is turning? When she was s-elected, we were lead to believe that the people in her area thought she was the next best thing to Pricess Di. If the AARP is turning on the Repugs in Florida, it does not bode well for them.

...but her propaganda allowed? there is little wonder why the crowd was unruley...

"This is wrong," said Tony Fransetta, president of the Florida chapter of AARP, as he was asked to hand over fliers.

"We have never been restricted in what we could hand out at other town meetings," Fransetta said. "We have talking points that simply list questions that would help people better understand and articulate their concerns. They have been denied that right."

welcome to the new nazi germany circa 2003. now we have first amendment zones at town hall meetings....good gawd, when will america wake up?

'Jews for Buchanan'. Oh, how I hate that heinous bitch! I even imagined such a scenario in my head earlier today, except I was the one who was booing her. Okay, I was actually yelling the worst obscenities at her. I'm finding the book to be a very painful read and it helps to imagine scenarios where I'm heckling one or another of the Bush junta in front of a crowd. It's nice to have dreams come true.:)
